Blanket of Snow

(Note: As 2011 is drawing to a close, starting today I will be posting re-caps of my trips in 2011.)

The first recap is the flight from Kansas City, MO to St.Louis - late February snow blanketed the whole city, including sections of the airport. As somebody from the tropics, seeing a city blanketed with snow from the air is an unforgettable sight.
